Solidworks Weldment Cutlist
Solidworks Weldment Cutlist
(OP)
I am creating a drawing for a wire framed part.
I am creating it using weldment features and the weldment cutlists. When I get to the drawing with the actual cutlist I have four parts that are basically identical. However they are not the same at the 6th decimal place and therefore on the cutlist become four different entities as well. I would like these four to be the same lengths, but modeling can make it very difficult. When I round it off to the 3rd decimal place they all are the same but separate. Is there any way to combine these so that they do not show up as four separate?

The simple solution, depending on your version of SW, is to go into the cut list on the 3-D model and drag and drop items between cut list folders to combine them. I know there is a glitch in SW 08 SP 2 (I think) and 3 (I know) where cut list items cannot be manually moved between folders without working some serious voodoo first.

Have you tried Dekker Design's tip on dragging and dropping items between cut list folders to combine them?
